.: I wasn't sure if this post should go under wholesaling or marketing so I just picked oneMaybe tweaking the mailers and message can work but the list itself what was it targeting (absentee owners, probates, etc.)? 

Good luck. 10-15% on a syndication for me is not attractive because i believe i can far exceed those returns on the right deals ( and i believe any smaller investor , especially in the sub 1M space can ) if they work hard enough and become knowledgable enough -you might have to tweak your asset class strategy and what markets you are in though ) 

On the flipside, I'm sure the experts are tired of hearing of beginners looking for help but not following through or staying committed.My thought to overcome this dilemma is to start analyzing deals (using bigger pockets software or an excel template) and ask an experienced (hopefully local) investor to check the inputs and assumptions and explain how/why they would tweak the model. 

But because I'm a micro-managing obsessive price-control freak, I tweak my prices all the time based on the the competition and occupancy/seasonal factor.

This is going to be what you do for the rest of your life as you constantly tweak and insert what you learned into action. 2.

I think the other comments on this thread cover most things you might consider tweaking. 

If you ever need help analyzing a deal, I would gladly help out and the BP calculator are awesome and where I started as well, just not  enough tweaking for the type of in depth analysis I do today.

If it is a way to get a foot in the door then I am all for it but maybe moving forward you can tweak the terms when you have a track record to prove yourself.
